It's been a long while since I've updated this blog so I figured I'll share a few of my favorite things. I remember I used to write about all sorts of things, especially when it came to sharing my favorite products. I would post all the time during my hard-core blogging days but lately it's been beyond difficult keeping up with my full-time job, the house, my family and this blog. So here it goes.... Enjoy!

There are 52 weekends in a year...
If you ask me, that means plenty of opportunities for a nice, weekend road trip. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I love road trips! To get away for a couple of days and be out of the normal routine is good for the body, mind and soul. If I had the money to get away every single weekend, I would be somewhere different all the time.
There's one place that I always seem to gravitate towards when it's time for a road trip. That one place I … [Read more...]

This past summer, we didn't do much of anything as in vacationing in a resort or visits at the beach. We pretty much hung around my hometown and did things nearby like visit the parks, visits to Rita's for some cold, creamy custards (yum!) and lots of backyard play. My plans for next summer are to take plenty of road trips, one or a few vacations (at the … [Read more...]

There's so much to love about the Fall season. The fact that you can wear nice, comfortable bulky sweaters, drink hot & steamy lattes without a sweat, decorate your home with pumpkins, scarecrows, and of course, catch up on your favorite shows!
After a long day at work and long hours in the kitchen cooking, I like to unwind in front of the television a few times a week with hubby and watch our favorite shows. But I'm always disappointed when I watch my favorite TV show and it's the Season … [Read more...]

Summer can be the perfect time for BBQ’s, picnics, beach vacations and just lounging around in the backyard. However, since the sun is setting on summer, it’s time to get ready to view the wonderful colors of my second favorite season: fall. Fall is a season that radiates warm sweaters, knee-high boots, pumpkin spice lattes, and the beautiful colors of the changing leaves.
The best part about living in the Hudson Valley is the ever-changing seasons upper New York has to offer. From the … [Read more...]

Hot summer days are now 'almost' a thing of the past, well for this year of course! It's now time to welcome Fall with open arms and lots of Pumpkin spice everything. I'm not much of a fan of Pumpkin Spice lattes anymore but I'll try just about any sweet treat made with pumpkin spice. The flavor just screams out Fall and who doesn't love cool, sweater weather?
Fall is also a perfect time for giveaways and for planning for the upcoming Christmas season. I'm happy to announce that I have teamed … [Read more...]
